No, but you can authenticate the user with a webservice via a
password.  This is what most apps do, for example.

Again, consider there was a way to force a password to be set, now
consider the rom which simply disregards this.  You could consider a
third party distribution scheme where you encrypt the apk, and then
give the user the password out of band, or something like that, then
provide a decryption solution and let the user sideload the app, or
something, I suppose..
